John...your not really in the wrong place, but your not really in the right
place eather! :))  VGA-Planet has an even bigger following then this group
at :
                           alt.games.vga-planets

you'll find plenty of games being offered there, along with tons of strategic
advice...enjoy!

These are just some of the sites from which you can obtain VGA Planets stuff.
If you want to be considerate, then use the site closest to you and avoid
normal working hours. Remember that a site can appear to be "down" if it is
overloaded; if so, try again later.

**** UTILITIES:
These sites also contain many extra utilities.  Which (if any)
you use is a matter of personal preference, but I suggest you
take a look at the following:

One of these is helpful to view things:
Informer inf24.zip  [Dos] Shareware -$5
Crystal Ball vp3cb214.zip [Windows] Freeware

These are battle simulators:
(Don't pick a fight you can't win  :-> )
Afsim131.zip [Dos] Shareware -$5
Bsim2.zip [Dos] Freeware

Managers for your planetary commands:
Randmax rans-2d4.zip [Dos] Freeware
Auto301.zip [Dos] Freeware

Computer player cp302.zip [Dos] Freeware
Note: I don't recommend this because it has some problems
and it is no substitute for playing against real people,
but its the only computer player I know of at the moment.
